     Title: (SBS) Beef Rendang
Categories: Indonesian, Beef
  Servings: 6

      2 md onions
      6    cloves garlic
           fresh ginger, about the size
           your thumb
      6    fresh chillies, seeded
      1    stalk lemon grass
      6    candlenuts
    400 ml tin coconut cream
      2 ts ground coriander
      1 ts turmeric
      3 sl dried galangal (laos)
      2    salam leaves (daun salam)
      1 kg chuck, blade, or round steak
           cut into narrow strips
      1 ts tamarind
      2 ts belachan
      2 ts sugar

Blend onions, garlic, chillies, lemongrass, candlenuts and ginger in a
blender with some oil and water. Remember, never run your blender dry.

Saute this for 2 minutes in a large saucepan. Add coconut cream,
coriander, turmeric, lemon grass, galangal, and daun salam (Indonesian
bay leaves). Quickly bring to the boil. Reduce heat, and add meat, salt,
sugar, and tamarind.

Stir, and bring to the boil again. Reduce heat, and leave pan uncovered.
Add about a cup of water to ensure the rendang does not burn and the
meat cooks properly.

Sauce should thicken after about 1 to 2 hours, and oil appear on top.
The meat should be very tender and have absorbed most of the sauce.

MMMMM

And then a post that is at best peripheral to food, except
that the word "dinner" is mentioned.

 DD> All real friendships are beneficial ... in some way.

We know that. But that's not what we meant. My friends here on
the echo are of benefit to me, but not that kind of benefit. I
kind of shudder to imagine ...

 DD> If you can come away as friends that is a mitzvah

Most of the time it's been fairly continuous. In a couple
of cases there's been a brief hiatus. And in a couple of
cases there's been a never, and that really hasn't bothered
me all that terribly much.

I saw the main '80s one yesterday. Spending the week with the main
early '90s one next week. Probably having dinner with the main '70s
one a week or two after that. And visiting the '60s heartthrob in March.
